Scripting & Automation
Proficiency in Bash and/or Python for operational automation.
Preferred Technical Skills
Experience with event‑driven autoscaling tools such as KEDA
Familiarity with Git Ops workflows and an interest in evolving deployment practices
Exposure to workflow automation platforms (n8n or similar)
